Materialists have their invisible friends, which are space aliens. They even created a fake science to study them and called it astrobiology . Except that there is no astro to biologize. That is (this may come as a shock), there are no space aliens. The whole philosophy is based on chasing shadows. This stuff is based on abiogenesis, where life supposedly came from non-life. (Many claim that abiogenesis has nothing to do with evolution, which is false; it is also called chemical evolution .) Abiogenesis is to be a given, then evolution stories commence from there. Mars,  NASA  / JPL-Caltech (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Secular scientists reject the Creator, but know that the origin of life cannot be explained on Earth, so they outsource the problem to space aliens. Life evolved, and it must have originated out yonder. Some of the stories they tell deserve Ig Nobel Prizes  because they defy logic and should be laughed away instead of published in ser...

While the Creator may very well have designed creatures to be pleasing to the eye, "cuteness" is subjective on our parts. We like when a kitty purrs, and may be surprised that some of their huge wild cousins also purr. But big and little cats are predators that hunt and kill. Aww, look at the cute chimpanzee! He is smiling! When an adult chimp is smiling, it is showing its teeth and thinking about violently ending you. That is why baby chimps are dressed up and ride tricycles, which seems to be abusive. Lion eating a zebra, Unsplash / Leon Pauleikhoff Atheists will take examples of predation, venom, and other unpleasantness in nature to say that if God exists, he made awful creatures. Meanwhile, death is a hero to evolution because the more fit take the place of the less fit. They do not want to get the full story from God's perspective. In the beginning, everything was very good. Sin entered the picture, and things went downhill quickly. As much as we love to sing about...

It is not uncommon for Bible deniers to find excuses to justify their rebellion, but some go further and machinate alleged contradictions and absurdities. These are usually framed as "Gotcha!" statements and questions. They occasionally raise questions that some believers also want answered. One tinhorn, geology professor Ian Plimer, wrote a (now out of print) book called Telling Lies for God: Reason vs Creationism . Aside from the clear bias, he made himself a liar and CMI set the record straight . Jimmy Li has a resource refuting hundreds  of such claims . Then there are bats as birds? Flying fruit bat, Flickr /  Tambako The Jaguar  ( CC BY-ND 2.0 ) While many of the items in the above references can be attributed to superficiality, carelessness, and lack of doing some homework, others take a bit more digging. Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ on the internet exhibit an attitude like, "Haw, haw, haw! We're supposed to believe your Bible, but it says that bats are birds!...

The subject of near-death experiences (NDEs) is highly controversial, but has been fascinating people for many years. One reason scientists have difficulty examining them is because they are extremely subjective. Also, there is a variety of experiences. Some people see light and a voice they attribute to God or an angel that tells them it is not yet time, go back. Others experienced terror. Many lives have been changed, but not always for the better and they need counseling. Those who went to a happy place resent coming back; their infirmities still exist. Spirit, light, and clouds, Pixabay / Gerd Altmann (geralt) Medically, some NDEs can be dismissed as hallucinations because the brain goes into special functions. There are times when people in the midst of an NDE returned and described people, conversations, and more that they could not have known about. The idea of giving counseling to NDE experiencers (especially to those who have challenges to their worldviews) involves materiali...

As discussed previously, Intelligent Design is a movement that is decidedly not biblical creation science . Evolutionists (especially atheists) on social(ist) media do not seem to have received the memo, thus telling the opposite of the truth. They also spread myths about the Dover ruling. One tinhorn left a comment on a post that the ruling devastated ID both legally and scientifically, but he clearly did not know what he was talking about. Study on it a spell: How can science be settled by a judge — and a biased one at that? Flagellum base diagram, Wikimedia Commons / LadyofHats (public domain) Dr. Michael Behe's presentation of irreducible complexity (where all of the parts need to be in place and functioning from the get-go) was ridiculed, but the bacterial flagellum is irreducibly complex nonetheless . Since 2005, that fact has only been reinforced. Although Dr. Behe came up with the term, biblical creationists have been using irreducible complexity arguments for quite some ...

Once again, it is worth asking that if evolution is a scientific fact with a mountain of evidence, why does it need to be protected from challenges and scrutiny? In 2004, the Kitzmiller v Dover  lawsuit was filed because the school district wanted teachers to say that there were problems with evolution. It also referred to the  Of Pandas and People textbook that proposed Intelligent Design as an alternative. Katie, bar the door! Someone has the gall , the unmitigated audacity, to doubt Darwin and have students  actually think ! Evolution must be protected! It has been twenty years since the ruling which is praised by atheists and other evolutionists. They continue to promote myths , probably because reasoning is difficult for them. One tinhorn from Michigan State University wrote an article that told several blatant falsehoods and misrepresented history. He was an expert witness at that trial. One of the most common lies from anti-creationists and anti-ID folks is that I...

As mentioned previously , atheists have a fondness for calling the Bible "fairy tales." Even a cursory reading of the Bible and fairy tales reveal marked differences. Myths, fairy tales, and legends tend to be vague but the Bible has dates and locations. Short videos are very popular now and many have nice stories with happy endings. F'rinstance, the waitress in the diner noticed the young boy was not acting right and saved his life — but zero  details. Look for those next time you watch one and use healthy skepticism. Universe and Bible, Pixabay /  Alex Myers  and  Maicon Fonseca Zanco Scoffers may say that people just decided to make up a religion and wrote a book to support it, which is risible to thinking people. If you  were going to make up a religion and give its history, wouldn't you construct the characters as really wonderful folks? The Bible records betrayal, bad decisions, and other things, revealing that the people were genuine. Indeed, there are fo...

Many people have an exalted view of science organizations as having an unbiased search for truth, using flawless logic, correcting the few errors made, publishing honest reports, and all that good stuff. Regular readers here as well as others who look behind the façade know otherwise. Fundamental in the secular science industry is publishing research, especially in peer-reviewed journals. The pressure is tremendous and there are many possibilities for poor research and fraud to slip in. Indeed, there is a kind of fake paper industry going on. Detroit building ruins, Unsplash / Laura Brain , modified at PhotoFunia Science fraud is increasingly common. With advances in technology, it is also becoming easier to make a dishonest paper look good. Overworked, hurried reviewers are less likely to find treachery, unethical behavior, or errors. Also, they are unable to police their own, who are living according to their "survival of the fittest" worldview; if fraud helps them survive ...

 Way back in 1947,  Rudolph Zallinger completed a five-year project . He painted a huge mural called  The Age of Reptiles  that can be seen Yale Peabody Museum. It garnered awards, and a section was used on a  US postage stamp in 1970  (Scott catalog 1390). Scientific views of dinosaurs have changed, so some depictions are now inaccurate. Unfortunately, his work was based on a myth promoted by atheists and other minerals-to-Megalosaurus evolutionists. The so-called Age of Reptiles is a myth to help bolster the greater myth of evolution. Tyrannosaurus rex  toy figure, Pixabay /  Eric Labayle Biblical creationists reject the Age of Reptiles on theological grounds, but this is not just a simplistic reaction. It is based on the study of biblical texts and logic. Something else to consider was how Charles Lyell, a lawyer who was instrumental in establishing deep time, wanted to devalue the Bible. Not only was the myth of the Age entirely made up, ...

One of the most amazing follies of atheism is its adherents spend time and energy hating God (and often hating Christians), then claim they "lack belief" that he exists. There is no evidence, they say. If they would take off their Darwin spectacles  and honestly look around, they would cease to be atheists. (The same applies to agnostics.) Known as general revelation , the Creator has made himself known quite clearly through his creation. However, people willingly and unrighteously suppress the truth. Esopus Lake from High Banks Preserve , Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen What would constitute "proof" for an unbeliever? Professing atheists and agnostics demand scientific  proof, but this is illogical. They presuppose and then rail against a "straw god" of their own imaginings instead of dealing with the God of the Bible: He is spirit, and not subject to man-made scientific evidence. God's existence is not restricted to scientists or others who may be con...

In The Chronicles of Riddick , "You keep what you kill" meant that if you eliminate someone, you keep their possessions, title, and so on. There is also a variation on the Golden Rule: "Whoever has the gold makes the rules." This article's title is a variation on another common saying. This site and others have documented ad nauseum  how leftists have been dominating the culture for years. Political things have slopped over into the secular science industry, and identity politics have become prominent. A person's abilities are less important than their identities. Plush bear chained to treasure chest, Pixabay / Davie Bicker People have been hired to do jobs where the lives of others are at stake. Do you want a firefighter, police officer, air traffic controller, or even an educator to be someone who passed the requisite exams, or because someone is a member of a special interest group that leftists promote? Secularists are using the spoils of culture wars to...

Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ swoop down on creationist sites, gleefully telling us how stupid we — they are the smart ones for believing "science." One example is something like, " Tiktaalik  is a transitional form that refutes creation. Haw, haw, haw!" Not hardly! It seems that atheists and other evolutionists do not keep current with their evolution stories; knowledgeable creationists have to correct them. In this case, tetrapods (vertebrates with four limbs, including humans) supposedly evolved from lobe-finned fish. Rikki-tikki-tiktaalik was one such fish. Tiktaalik roseae , WikiComm / Olmagon ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ), modified at PhotoFunia Darwin's disciples were all a-twitter when they found parts of Tiktaalik  because they presuppose their story of evolution and that it made tracks on land. This meant it wanted to be a tetrapod. A big problem for evolution believers is that they often don't get the memo: Tracks by a tetrapod were found that were dated using...

Atheists and other evolutionists have their invisible friends, clinging to them by faith, not evidence. The belief in extraterrestrials is based on blind faith springing from evolutionary presuppositions. "Lookit all them stars, there's gotta be life, I tellya." Not a peep, which is the Fermi Paradox . Yes, a passel of planets beyond our solar system has been discovered. Those exoplanets are not helpful, and are even harmful  to secular theories . Astrobiologists (there is no astro to biologize, a fake job) depend on planets being found in the Goldilocks Zone. Darwin dancing with space alien in pale moonlight made at  Bing AI , edited at  cleanup.pictures This Goldilocks Zone draws its name from the fairy tale involving three bears: A planet's orbit cannot be too hot or too cold, it must be just right. Then evolutionists hope and pray to their puny gods that abiogenesis occurred out yonder , thereby negating the Creator. Isn't that stupid? It is even worse because...

One source of mirth for professing atheists and other evolutionists is that biblical creationists believe humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time, but dinosaurs have since kicked the bucket and joined the choir invisible. Their narrative demands millions of years between us and them. Creationists have shown problems with deep time, and even some secular scientists admit that the evidence is severely lacking. Indeed, there are legends of  creatures that greatly resembling dinosaurs in human history — and there are other evidences as well. Atheists despise these things as they point to recent creation. St. Lifard and the dragon, Jean Bourdichon , ca. 1500 (PD) This picture looks like he just asked if it wanted to go walkies. Way back in the sixth century AD, a monk known as St. Lifard (or Lipardus, among others) was responsible for putting an end to a troublesome dragon. Was there truth to the story? I dunno, especially since the stories of his saintly exploits are far-fetched....

People on social(ist) media, regular media, and in print notice that misotheists often ridicule those of us who believe in immaterial things. A surprising number are inconsistent , believing in psychic matters, prayer, ghosts, and other things. We have seen that atheists are also inconsistent about the mind or soul — many deny it exists, but still look for its location in the brain. Many of us know that the brain is not the mind, but the mind uses  the brain. A neurosurgeon and an atheist had an interesting discussion on consciousness and other things. Brain and consciousness, Pixabay /  Gerd Altmann  (Geralt) The two Mikes. Dr. Michael Egnor is a neurosurgeon and believes that the mind is not simply physiological reactions, Dr. Michael Shermer is an atheist. It is very interesting that Egnor asked Shermer to offer an explanation for near-death experiences that contained verified details. Also, Egnor pressed Shermer to explain immaterial things such as morality: How can a...

It is interesting to see articles and videos about various geological features, many of which are found in the formerly United States. Down 'Straya way, there are also some impressive formations. Consider the Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. This popular tourist attraction presents strong evidence for the Genesis Flood , and Dr. Tasman Walker of Creation Ministries International wrote an article about it. This raised the ire of some Australian skeptics, and one wrote an article to refute him. It did not go well, Three Sisters, Wikimedia Commons / Diliff ( CC BY-SA 2.5 ) For some time, I have held the opinion that a skeptic is someone who is not convinced of something, but is willing to change his mind when persuasive evidence is presented. It seems that a skeptic today is someone who refuses to be convinced of something despite the evidence. Someone pointed out that these unyielding skeptics would more correctly be called cynics . These skeptics (atheists) d...

When some creationists post photos of the cobra-like images on the upper wings of the Atlas moth , it is not uncommon for a village atheist to react with derision: "Now I believe in yer gawd, haw, haw! St00pid Xian, it evolved. End of story." Yes, they do that kind of stuff. If this was a one-off example, it could easily be dismissed as a coincidence. Mimicry is surprisingly frequent. Insects can pose as dead leaves, sticks, and seem to have false heads at the tail-ends of wings. A predator nibbles, and the butterfly gets out of Dodge. Dead leaf butterfly, Wikimedia Commons / S herle123 ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Researchers studied lycaenid butterflies. Over 900 species. Although the researchers sacrificed their minds to Darwin and paid him homage, they still had a few interesting things to say. For one thing, these designs had several common characteristics and did indeed resemble heads. How did they supposedly evolve gradually over time? The deceptions had to work from the onset, g...

There was a trial in July 1925, formally "The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes." It is often informally known as the "Scopes Monkey Trial." Many people have seen the play or movie Inherit the Wind , which is treated like a documentary but is almost entirely fictional. Alleged  is more accurate . Since this is the 100-year anniversary of this significant event in American society and education, many articles and videos are being produced. I expect to post more than just the two for today. The entire trial was a setup by the American Civil Liberties Union . Scopes Trial day 7 as watercolor painting, original PD , modified at DeepAI Mr. Scopes was in trouble for breaking state law by teaching evolution. He was a substitute teacher and used a biology textbook that was approved by the state . He was arrested and put on trial in something that should have been very quick, but it turned into a circus: God  was in the dock. Although he was found guilty, the repercus...

Most Americans probably know of the July 4, 2025 flash flood tragedies in Texas. The one that is most prominent is Camp Mystic for Girls near Hunt, Texas. At this writing, twenty-seven campers and counselors are dead, and others are still missing. In this and other disasters, people wonder, "Where is God?" There is a word for attempts to reconcile the love of God (or even his existence) with evil in the world. It is theodicy , but academic discussions can seem glib or self-serving. Interestingly, the Camp Mystic tragedy is a challenge to atheists and other Darwinists. Camp Mystic, Flickr / crawford orthodontics ( CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 ) The camp is a nondenominational Christian. It was established in 1926 as Stewart's Camp for Girls. It was sold in 1937 to the Stacy family. Somewhere along the line, the name was changed to Camp Mystic because the morning mist on the Guadalupe River  gave the area a mystic feel, There had been several previous incidents of flooding over the ye...

A common charge leveled against biblical creationists is that we deny science, but even a cursory examination of our material puts that lie to rest. (Someone said that we deny bad  science, which is true.) Notice that this accusation seems to only appears in discussions of origins. Such people act like atheists and believers in universal common descent are the ones who truly believe science, but the secular science industry uses deception and outright fraud to promote the current version of Darwin's Victorian myth. We need to keep the pressure on them . Crime scene tape and people, Unsplash / Joshua Coleman Evolutionists often defy laws of logic, such as insisting evidence only fits their  proposals, suppressing facts, redefining words, and more. Indeed, some seem to be trying to make their own "laws" without scientific due process . There are also major areas that evolution itself is used in attempts to circumvent established scientific laws. Those include the Law of Bio...
